About the Course

This is a survey of modern history from a global perspective. Part Two begins early in the twentieth century, as older ways of doing things and
habits of thought give way. What follows is an era of cataclysmic struggles over what ideas and institutions will take their place. The course
concludes in the present day, as communities everywhere are transitioning into a new era of world history. Again we work hard to grasp what
is happening and ask: Why? Again we are drawn to pivotal choices made at key moments by individuals and communities.

Excellent course. I learned a lot, enjoyed the experience. Prof. Zelnikov is a master teacher. Thanks for the opportunity to listen and learn even after eight years after production of these lectures.

excellent course for those who have not studied history as part of their academic curriculum. Course is slightly from American(USA) perspective of world events but nevertheless is highly informative.

Mostly very good. However, the Prof's bias toward the administrations he worked for showed through a little. And the global situation has changed so drastically since 2014 with Trump 1 and Trump 2 that the last couple modules seem very naive -- partly a hazard of teaching "history" when it isn't yet history -- but it might be worth updating to correct/acknowledge .... 2014 was a long time ago world history wise.

An ambitious and informative summary of the most relevant events that shaped our history over the past 100 years. This takes us from the early 20th century up to the financial crisis of 2008. Highly recommend this course if you are wanting to refresh your understanding of this time period.

I enjoyed listening to Prof. Zelikow's lectures. This course has shown me a historians perspective on events of past and present. It is empowering to see how much humanity has achieved in such a short time and how many mistakes were done during the process.
